This Earl Horter etching measures 7 3/8 x 7 1/8 inches and is pencil signed on the l.r. Created c. 1930 on medium weight paper. The image depicts a pleasantly cluttered entrance with skyscrapers surrounding it. Horter was born in the Philadelphia area, traveling widely, but known for his etched images of New York and Philadelphia. He was largely self-taught, but became a member of the Society of Illustrators at a young age. He exhibited at the Panama Pacific Exhibition in 1915, the Art Institute of Chicago in 1932, and at the Philadelphia Print Club during the 1930's. The Philadelphia Museum of Art held an exhibition of the artist's works in 1999.
